jayspartanburg 12 Posted April 17, 2017 Not sure tbh. I was thinking of 3.3 springs. On 4/14/2017 at 0:49 AM, TwinCamFan said: What valvesprings are you going to run? Often we don't realize how critical the right springs are to a motor, too light and they float early, to heavy and they tear up rotatating parts and kill power... Not sure tbh.

jayspartanburg 12 Posted July 9, 2017 Small update ? I went ahead with the air to water installation. I had to switch to a smaller civic radiator to make it all fit with my setup. I'll be going to a large civic radiator when $ allows. It was getting a lil hot, so I flushed the water that was in it, and refilled with water plus Royal Purples version of Water Wetter. I also installed a oil cooler, and the combination has helped a lot with the temps. I Bought a catch can, but I have to go pick up more hose. Going to put a smaller battery in, and work on "cleaning up" the look of engine bay. I'll post some more here soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Turbo Kane 16 Posted July 10, 2017 I had overheating problems running one of those in my Omni. Was bad on a 75-80deg day doing 65 on the freeway. City cruising would be fine. Look into a vw scirocco radiator I've seen more ppl successfully running those. Looks good though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jayspartanburg 12 Posted October 9, 2017 I went back to a full size radiator. There car is down for the winter for repairs and upgrades. I'll add a pic of what it looks like later when I can get to my phone. Going with a fully ported +1mm valve 655 head. Not sure on the turbo yet. I have a 60 trim t3 on there now, but I'll most likely go with a t3/t4 turbo when I replace the head. No sense in taking it off more than once. Also getting new control arms, new rack, and new power steering pump and lines. I will also have the airride going as well. It's been awhile since I didn't need to daily the car, so hopefully we can get this right the first shot. May freshen up the block and put a clutch that can hold the power at the same time.

TwinCamFan 31 Posted October 17, 2017 Again, crazy kids... When I was your age I loved chrome and polish, as I matured do you know what I love now? Wrinkle black paint or powdercoat. Clean, classy, and stock appearing... You'll see in 15 or so years Jay 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wash my car too often, only rains once or twice a year and then just enough to get water spots on the car. My "California Duster" works fine though!

jayspartanburg 12 Posted May 24, 2018 Polished my intake as well. I'll be doing the air bag strut brackets next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reaper1 56 Posted May 25, 2018 Wow...that looks really nice. I've tried to polish before and while I can do it...I don't like it because of how long it takes. You said you were trying something different? Want to give up your secret sauce? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing super secret. The water outlet was done with a spiral wheel and brown bar, then a loose wheel with white bar. The intake was done the same, but I had to sand it some. I'll have more updates on the car soon, I'm just wanting on some more parts to come in ?? Edited July 16, 2018 by jayspartanburg (see edit history) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
